FRESH RASPBERRY FREEZER JAM

Raspberries are my favorite for jam next to blueberries. By making the freezer jam you will think you are eating fresh raspberries all year because they are not cooked. Yummy! NOTE: Do not use a sugar substitute and do not reduce the sugar as it won't set right.

FRESH RASPBERRY JAM



Fresh Raspberry Jam image

A fresh, fruity jam from my grandmother. She loves making jams and preserves, and they always come out perfect. Personally, I've never tried making jam because it seems a little daunting, but if you can tackle it with ease, go for it! *Prep time and cook time are the same, I'm estimating.*

Time 15m

Yield 1 1/2 pints, about

Number Of Ingredients 2

4 cups fresh raspberries
3 cups sugar

Steps:

  • Combine the raspberries with the sugar in a large saucepan.
  • Cook over high heat, stirring constantly until a jam thermometer (or candy thermometer) reaches 230*-240*F, the soft-ball stage.
  • Ladle the jam into hot, sterilized jars and seal.

Tips:

  • Select ripe, fresh raspberries: The quality of your jam starts with the quality of your fruit. Choose plump, brightly colored raspberries that are free of blemishes.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to distribute heat evenly and prevent the jam from scorching.
  • Stir the jam frequently: This will help to prevent the fruit from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature of the jam: This will help you to ensure that the jam reaches the proper consistency.
  • Let the jam cool completely before storing it: This will help to prevent the jam from becoming too runny.

Conclusion:

With its vibrant color, sweet-tart flavor, and versatile uses, fresh raspberry jam is a delicious and easy-to-make addition to any kitchen. Whether you're spreading it on toast, using it as a filling for pastries, or simply enjoying it by the spoonful, this homemade jam is sure to be a hit. So next time you have a bounty of fresh raspberries, be sure to give this recipe a try – you won't regret it!
